[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen most mothers take 12 weeks and very few fathers take more than a couple of weeks. As men get higher in the hierarchy they seem to take less, the SES who leads my program adopted a child and took zero paternity days. I guess different agencies have different cultures but in mine the fathers rarely take close to 12 weeks.[/quote] That’s a shame. When we adopted our child as an older infant, the adoption agency highly encouraged both parents to take at least a couple of months off to bond with their new child. We each took three months off so our kid had 6 months home. When I gave birth to our second child, we were out of leave (no parental leave for the feds at that time) but my husband still took 1 month off. As an office director now, he very much encourages new parents to take as much time as they are given or want. [/quote]
